Proven Innocent Picked Up by Universal TV

The new legal drama Proven Innocent has been licensed to Universal TV to air in the U.K. and Africa.

The legal series tells the story of one woman’s fight for the innocence of others, as well as her own. Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, A Gifted Man) stars alongside Russell Hornsby (Seven Seconds, Grimm) and Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers, Boss).

NBCUniversal International Networks licensed the show from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution. Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Danny Strong Productions, the 13×1-hour series will premiere in the U.K. and Africa on Universal TV from March 2019.

The subject matter is intriguing and will make exciting TV to watch.”
